In the UK they're saying there's a shortage of swabs and pipettes even, do you not need these too?
Also, in the UK our independent and uni labs have been saying for almost a week they could extract the RNA differently but the NHS have a fixed approved way that they won't change.
- Are the chemicals you're using more common or would there just be a new shortage of different chemicals?
- Is there a risk you'd be creating a test that didn't work very well, and the US would end up with a bunch of useless tests (e.g. Italy had to abandon a bunch of Chinese sourced tests, UK's anti-body tests are ineffective)?
